A pregnant South Carolina woman attempted to kill herself and her three children by driving her minivan into the Atlantic Ocean.
Now police officials are saying that 31-year-old Ebony Wilkerson talked about demons before she drove away from the home according to her sister who called police. Daytona Beach stopped Wilkerson but she appeared lucid and didn’t qualify to be held under the state’s mental health act.
“The children were in the back seat, they were buckled in and were not in distress. Although the sergeant said she looked like she had some mental illness, she did not fit the criteria for going into custody under the Baker Act,” Police Chief Mike Chitwood told Fox News.
Two hours later, Wilkerson drove herself and her three children, ages 10, 9 and 3, into the ocean. Bystanders, police and lifeguards pulled the children from the van as it began to sink.
The children are in the custody of state welfare authorities.
The anti-Christian group Military Religious Freedom Foundation has forced the Air Force to remove a nativity scene from Shaw Air Force Base in South Carolina.
The plastic nativity scene included traditional Christmas elements like Mary, Joseph, assorted animals and Baby Jesus. According to the MRFF, the site emotionally troubled some Airmen from the base.
The Air Force removed the display within hours of the anti-Christian group contacting the Pentagon.
Shaw Air Force Base’s public affairs office did not return calls to Fox News’ Todd Starnes for comment about why they removed the display. However, Fox News’ commentator Sarah Palin said the action was not surprising.
“We see stories like this every day and yet leftwing pundits still claim that the so-called ‘War on Christmas’ is a figment of the imagination,” Palin told Starnes. “The War on Christmas is just the top of the spear in a larger battle to marginalize expressions of faith and make true religious freedom a thing of the past.”
